Bills rookie QB Losman drawing attention

[The_Philster]

It's a half hour after practice, and J.P. Losman is still busy signing autographs along the fence surrounding the Buffalo Bills training camp field.

"Hey, J.P., you were great on Sunday," someone yells out to the rookie quarterback.

"That's our next Jim Kelly," another person is overheard saying, referring to the Bills Hall-of-Famer.

Smiling, Losman continues working down the long line of outstretched hands. It's only when someone notes that he's wearing No. 7, the same number Doug Flutie once wore in Buffalo, that Losman stops and comments....more

[Mr. Cynical]

Bills quarterback coach Sam Wyche has nurtured the careers of both Joe Montana and Boomer Esiason. And Wyche sees in Losman a potential combination of Kelly and Steve Young.

Losman was taken aback by the comparison.

"Did he say that?" Losman said. "It's good to hear those types of things. So now, I've just got to somehow make his words right."




Great attitude. Great eval by Wyche.

Take out the birdbath and get him on the damn field for crying out loud.
